ActiveMongo2 is a very simple, efficient and developer friendly PHP abstraction for MongoDB.

This is a work in progress, but it is being used already in production at some sites.

How does it work?

ActiveMongo2 is not backward compatible with ActiveMongo. ActiveMongo2 generates code to avoid doing any checks at run time. Therefore configuration is a bit more complicated.

// /tmp/mapper.php would be generated
$conf = new \ActiveMongo2\Configuration("/tmp/mapper.php");
$conf->addModelPath(__DIR__ . "/app/model");
$conf->development(); // remove this line at production

// create mongodb connection
$mongo = new \MongoClient;

// create the ActiveMongo2 connection
$conn  = new \ActiveMongo2\Connection($conf, $mongo, 'database');

This configuration would walk checking each *.php file inside __DIR__ . "/app/model", it would be looking for @Persist annotation.

The ActiveMongo2\Connection provides several methods, the most useful is ->getCollection("collection_name").
